Pravni sistem ima v družbi dvojno funkcijo. Na eni strani pravni sistem nastopa kot sredstvo družbenega nadzora in reševanja konfliktov ter kot tak zagotavlja določeno stabilnost. Po drugi strani so pravne norme tudi dejavnik družbenih sprememb. Ta inovacijska funkcija pravnega sistema je posebej poudarjena po izvedeni socialni revoluciji, ko pride do zamenjave političnih in ekonomskih odnosov in družbenih vrednot. Do družbenih sprememb v Sloveniji po letu 1990 je prišlo najhitreje na političnem področju, počasneje pa na ekonomskem področju, čeprav so prav ekonomski vzroki – nizka produktivnost socialističnih ekonomskih sistemov ob državni in družbeni lastnini najbolj botrovali političnim spremembam. Tem so potem sledile menjave prevladujočih vzorcev družbenega obnašanja, ki so jih določale pravne in druge družbene norme. Najpočasneje so se omenjene spremembe dogajale na področju družbene zavesti ter dejanskega ponotranjenja (internalizacije) novih družbenih vrednot.

The system of legal norms has a double function in society. On the one hand, it appears as an instrument of social control and settlement of conflicts and as such ensures certain stability. On the other hand, legal norms are also an agent of social change. This innovative function of the legal system is observable particularly following a social revolution, when political and economic relation and social values in society have change. Social changes in Slovenia after 1990 were going on at the highest speed on the political level, and more slowly in the economic area, although economic reasons—low productivity of the socialist economic system with state and social property—were primarily responsible for political changes. These were followed by alterations of prevailing patterns of social behaviour, determined by legal and other norms. The stated changes were slowest in the area of social consciousness and actual internalisation of new social values.
